Re: Places I've Seen a College Hockey Game

So you're old enough to have seen a game at Watson Rink but never made it to McHugh Forum?

Not true. I saw a high school hockey game at McHugh. St Sebastian's vs the Fessenden School. Fessenden won something like 6-1.

Re: Places I've Seen a College Hockey Game

Not an impressive list but I'll play:

The Ralph(best one obviously ) Grand Forks, ND
The Old Ralph- Grand Forks, ND
Sanford Center- Bemidji, MN (small and quiet)
Amsoil Arena- Duluth, MN (2nd favorite rink, great sight lines)
National Hockey Center- St. Cloud, MN (concrete palace, decent student section, pretty sterile arena)
Marriuci Arena- Minneapolis, MN (Only trip was the last UND/UMN match-up as WCHA foes, good sight lines unless you're in SRO which I was, big open bowl)
Century Link Center- Omaha, NE (wayyy too big for 99% of college hockey teams so always feels empty)
Magness Arena- Denver, CO (nothing special, lack of devoted fans)
World Arena- Colorado Springs, CO (worst student section, overall decent atmosphere)
TD Ameritrade Park- Omaha, NE (Where the CWS is played, Outdoor hockey game, great time and fun town)

Postseason venues:
Xcel Energy Center (Great arena, 4 WCHA Final Five's & 2011 Frozen Four)
Target Center (Terrible boards, terrible ice, hopefully renovations help this)
Scheels Arena (2014 West Regionals, cool little rink)

Rinks I would like to visit:
Kohl Center
New Omaha rink
Goggin Arena
Lawson Arena
Yost
Maine Arena(not sure of the name)
BU's rink
Conte

If you're ever in Boston to visit Agannis or Conte, you've got to check out Matthews Arena (Northeastern U.), formerly Boston Arena, the oldest indoor hockey arena in North America still being used for hockey. It's a few miles away from BC and BU. Add it to your list. You'll be glad you did.
